Here's the latest update from AccuChaser Shawn Smith. To see previous updates, click the AccuChase 09 Category at right.

Day 8: Shawn's team has decided to stay on the chase through the weekend (they had originally planned to come home today). This evening they are chasing in Colorado (yes, they get good storms in the eastern part of the state). Why are they saying overtime? The thunderstorm outlook is looking up. Shawn says "There is potential for some significant Supercells and Tornadoes across W Kansas and W. Neb. I will continue to send videos from our chases through Saturday. The only factor will be the strong Cap... if we can break this then big storms will break out." New videos and photos from the chases on May 31st and June 1st can be seen below and at right. This photo of lightning is simply incredible:
